Culturefest is on the radio! “Gabfest Radio” combines Slate’s Culture and Political Gabfests in one show—listen on Saturdays at 7 a.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m. on WNYC’s AM 820.

On this week’s Culturefest, our critics discuss the documentary Queen of Versailles, director Lauren Greenfield’s portrait of opulent excess and financial collapse, and what happens to a family’s dream of constructing the largest private home in the country when the economy tanks. They then discuss Revolution, the new sci-fi drama from J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke and ponder why Americans can’t seem to get enough of the post-apocalypse in our entertainment. Finally, the Gabfesters consider TV critic Matt Zoller Seitz’s blog post about distanced or “unsophisticated” viewership, whether there exists a “wrong” way to watch a movie, and how to properly experience and appreciate art of an earlier age.
